My dear sitemates ~
You all cared so much last time that I wanted to spare your holiday feelings this time.
But now I have decided that you deserve an explanation for my silence.
My mother has been back in the hospital for 2 weeks. Her condition is critical. The doctors can't understand how her heart keeps beating, even tho it is irregular.
They will not even consider a pacemaker or anything else much, because they say, "It is TIME for her to die." !!!!!
I have been so upset. Who are they to play God? Their oath and license does not call for them to control life and death, but to help life!
I have been with her as much as possible. That has caused me to miss times I would otherwise have been with you.
I know you understand. You are such GOOD friends. Nevetheless, I apologize and promise to make it up to you.
